About Memories & Travel Journals
I don’t remember exactly when it started. I have always been writing. Diaries, stories, songs, poems… So I guess that confiding in travel journals seemed inevitable.

Seeing The Statue Of Liberty For The First Time
October 2014, I did what a lot of travelers dream of: I went to visit New York! That was my first big trip. At the time, I was living in London. Since my brother was in Quebec and one of my friends lived in Toronto, I decided to take a plane to Canada. It definitely was an adventure, the furthest I had been before was Budapest, and it was by bus! I was going to see the famous Statue of Liberty!

Lac D’Oô: The Lake That Makes You Go “Wow”!
Two hours (by car) from Toulouse, there is a really cool hike to do. You start at the bottom of the mountain and hike to the top of the mountain to discover one or several lakes (depending on your strength and on the time you have. The first lake you get to see is called Lac d’Oô because that’s the name of the village next to it.

Boat Trip On The Thames: From Hampton Court To Kew Gardens
Last June, England celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Can you imagine? 70 years as a ruler. Can you imagine the UK without the Queen? Well, I was there. Although, I have to admit I was mostly there to see my friend. Still, I enjoyed seeing British people celebrating the Jubilee everywhere! Even on boats! On June 3rd, we traveled to Hampton Court to do a boat trip on the Thames.

This Summer, Love Your Body!
As every Summer, women are expected to look perfect for the bikini season. But I think women (and men) should get a break from looking fabulous (whose idea of fabulous is this, by the way?) and should instead do their best to feel good. The temperatures are already really high, and it’s hard to not feel sweaty when you feel the need to cover yourself… Here are a few ideas to love your body!

The Wonders Of Petra
For a long time, I have admired the Treasury of Petra on calendars and inspirational traveling photos. Despite seeing so many times, I didn’t really look for information about the site. In fact, I thought that Petra was this magnificent door carved in the mountain and just that. In February 2022, I had finished my contract and I was looking for some time off to get some rest before finding my next professional adventure. I hadn’t done any big trip since Covid and I wasn’t too reassured about traveling by myself. So I found an organized trip. And I got the opportunity to travel to Jordan!

Jerash Deserves Your Attention
If I tell you Jordan, what do you think about? Let me guess… Petra? Most of the advertisement for Jordan is about Petra. And this is understandable because this is a stunning park (yes, it’s more than just the door you see on travelling magazines). But, despite being a very small country, Jordan has a lot to offer! And one of the places I was glad I discovered was Jerash!

Porto Venere: A Bonus Village
Originally, I had planned to visit the Cinque Terre until Friday, but given our fast pace and the amazing weather, Anthéa and I had hiked to the last village, Riomaggiore, on Thursday. That meant that I had one bonus day in Liguria. The idea? Going to La Spezia by train, visit the city and the go on a boat trip to see the villages from another point of view.

Hiking The Cinque Terre From Corniglia
Have you ever heard about the Cinque Terre? About Corniglia, Vernazza, Manarola, Riomaggiore and Monterosso? These 5 villages are connected to one another through sinuous paths. You can travel by boat or train to visit them, or even better, you can hike!
